Hello.

I hope this message finds you well.

This is my first post here. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read my request.

I am currently involved with a large project which entails editing a large audio track.

I have been using two programs, one of them being Audacity (an excellent freeware program).

I am seeking a way to isolate each word in the track, as my current method is taking a very long time. I realize that there must be a way to automate this process so that I can split the words much quicker. I'm looking for a program that can locate silences between words and to separate them for me to speed up this very tedious task.

I do know that Audacity has some limited capabilities to do this, but I have not mastered this and so if anyone here can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.

I appreciate your time, and look forward to any replies.

The software Total Recorder might be of use to you.

It will allow you to split audio files with level as a condition, which means you can split at the point where there is silence for more than a defined period of time.

They offer an evaluation version of the software, and the license is quite cheap relative to other audio editing programs.

An evaluation copy of Total Recorder has the following limitations: a short portion of noise is inserted into recorded sound about every one minute, you cannot process more than three files during batch processing, and a mark is added to captured images (when recording video). For unlimited usage of the program, you must purchase a Total Recorder license.
We strongly recommend that prior to purchasing a licence, you download an evaluation version of the program to make sure it runs properly on your PC and meets your requirements.
